':sad: Your poor brother. But - I must say - to have such a kind and concerned friend in you - what a blessing! Yes, I was overseas, once - (well, more than once, but this particular occasion I'll...
Minnesota, eh? Glad I'm not entirely alone! :happy: Welcome, welcome!
Definitely a vivid music memory. Songs I don't know will play once in a store, and repeat in my head again later. I rarely, however, remember the lyrics; only the tune, the rhythm... they haunt me. ...
BRAVO for posting this! My dad is very keen on transition towns (as am I, when the fit is upon me - ahem). I am really interested in hearing what you think of it all once you visit her... This...
Over this past weekend I learned it was released in one theater here in Uptown Minneapolis!! :laughing: Hopefully I can sneak away from the hubby and toddler some time soon to go see it. It looks...
I've been watching our local county workers cut down about a dozen trees in our neighborhood this week! We've lost shade, appeal, and well, TREES! Hello!!!! :crying: I didn't think of my reaction to...
When I get out into nature it can be an almost transcendental experience for me. Generally, however, I tend to feel overwhelmed by the vastness, the beauty, the - acceptance - of nature. For...
We watched August Rush night before last. It was SUPERB! Chillingly beautiful. I loved it!!!
Your phraseology sums up quite aptly my fascination (and surely, others as well) with the public versus private image... Bravo! Now, to put those words into action - *why* is that so difficult......
Wheee!! Another INFP. :happy: You'll love this place... sounds like you happened across us at a good juncture in your life. Bienvenue! (don't anyone call plagiarism on that one, svp :proud:)
Oh dear... I wanted to be a vet, or a nurse, or a doctor; I wanted to write plays and poetry and live in a loft; I wanted to be a marine biologist (as idego said, I think this was my form of escapism...
That sums it up in a nutshell! :laughing: ~~~ I am capable of cold, bone-slicing logic when I want to be. But it all depends on my mood. Now ain't dat Irony. :blushed: ...
Are you saying my goals are just minor? :tongue: Or that yours are too idealistic? :wink: I didn't air my idealistic ones. LOL... rather, the absolutely-unattainable ones (like living in an...
This is where I begin to wonder if I'm INFP. :dry: I want to finish college. Learn more languages. Study, study, study, and ahem, did I say, study? Basically, I want to die learning. :proud:...
It's not in the Twin Cities... anywhere. That I can find. :sad:
I am a HUGE fan of peanut butter. Chocolate for most women is like Peanut Butter (with capitals, yes :tongue:) for me. I. heart. P.B. :laughing: So thanks so much for the rec.!
Hehe... that's what I thought, too, and usually - do - for the most part. But reading through that book was a real eye-opener! Wow. The stuff people eat. It's kinda - cool - in a nice, odd way....
I came across this interesting book (http://www.amazon.com/What-We-Eat-When-Alone/dp/1423604962/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248304710&sr=8-1) at Barnes & Noble a couple weeks ago... I thought,...
That TOTALLY reminded me of this: http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/images/album_Weird-Al-Yankovic-Weird-Al-Yankovic.jpg LOL! :crazy:
Well, if I didn't know better, Alysaria, I would say I'm the friend that you described there. :crazy: Learning that I was INFP wasn't too-too hard; I took a couple different tests, they all told...
:unsure: My thoughts are all jamming the exit and nothing is coming out. <sigh> java_monkey put it so aptly with Um... well, I'm risking myself by giving you a part of my journal... I hope it...
How - odd!!! We have August Rush coming via Netflix tomorrow in the mail... my sisters-in-law recommended it to me! Sweeeeeeeet. ~~~ Has anybody seen Les Choristes? It's gotta be in my top-five....
Tell me how to just do it... I'm serious. I really don't view meeting other people as a fear per se - I see it as more of a burden. Oh, and I'm not single :happy: - I stay at home with our...
How'd you guess? My hubby (I almost typed bubby, lol) and I just had the Back-to-College conversation over dinner tonight. :unsure: Not sure if it will happen this fall, but hopefully, I can get...
Ugh. So, as you can guess, I have very few friends (IRL). It doesn't bother me, per se, all the time; however, the only real social interaction I get is observing people when I have to go...
My two cents: we're all equipped with muscles for both E/I, S/N, T/F, P/J. The percentages perhaps could vary through the years depending on circumstance, though our core self remain the same (ie,...
Thanks for the Stardust recommendation... we watched it last night. I'd been afraid to, since I'd read the book and didn't want to ruin it by watching the movie, but I'm so glad I did! It was...
Oh my. I had to come back to this... originally I wasn't going to post, because: 1) There are too many fictional characters I admire; 2) I could never be like any of them, so they are, at once,...
I couldn't help myself. :blushed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ippoXtAbpE
We await the finishing of packing... :happy: looking forward to it... :cool:
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. I fell into their trap of labeling - and I mean EVERYTHING. For one, I grew up thinking I was weird (b/c I was different), then I snapped, fell into an...
I kinda roll my answers/thoughts all into one big pile of words, here, so, um, bear with me :cool: [disclaimer - I'm certainly no guru on the subject and am speaking solely from my own experience...
I could perhaps see where INFP would crumble into BPD; at my worst stages of depression they almost diagnosed me with it. BPD is different - it's not a chemically based PD. Mental health...
I agree... and second the motion! :cool:
Meant to post this earlier, too... anyone seen the movie Dead Again? It survived as my favorite for over five years. And then I saw Slumdog Millionaire. :cool: But I still LOVE this movie: ...
No, I don't have a problem saying no. :wink: Just kidding! I couldn't resist saying that. :happy: I can sooooo relate to this - couldn't have said it better. In terms of boundaries, I'm...
Oh, also, the SMITHS!!! :happy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U5HpeA_WSo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INgXzChwipY
I'm not really sure, from my own experience(s), how the world views INFPs. My mom is one, so I'm grateful that I at least had her understanding growing up; though, as my dad is an ENTJ, she would...
Okay. So this is the merest outline - I wrote this out after musing over your question. It barely skims the surface but perhaps it's enough, when it comes to the written word... While there's a...
Are you asking me to write a book? :proud: I could, you know, especially when it comes to ideals... Anyhow; my ideals are basically my values, glorified. :happy: I hold in highest regard my Faith...
3... 2... 1... blast off (and out)...
I'm a pretty avid reader, and what with perusing the thread on Music & Movies, I thought I'd shout out for some book recommendations. :happy: As my own contribution, I have consistently (a big...
Well, there may be conflict, but we'd make history class ten times harder. Who'd want to memorize all the peace treaties and conferences that we'd hold? :cool:
Sooner or later one must come to realize that only in grammar can one be more than perfect. :tongue:
Oh my. Now, I suppose, you can devote all your free time to perfecting your spelling and grammar. :laughing: ...I might respect you, Earnest, I might admire your character, but I feel that I...
As I penned my other post (with the lightbulb reference) it was thanks to this thread that I wrote it that way, laughing to myself... I almost made some kind of snide remark about it, but decided...
No single person sucks... we're all different. Attracted, by nature, to different things. It's what makes life interesting. :happy: Oh, and <sooner>, if you were trying to see if anybody would jump...'
